Testing out some new (for me) paper. Stonehenge
Aqua Cold Press 140# from Legion Paper. I mostly work on Yupo these days, but have also
exclusively used Arches for over 4 decades. Really feel rusty working on
the cotton, but liked the soft, forgiving, absorbent quality of this
sheet. Trying the same image on the Hot Press Stonehenge next. Of course, after using
Yupo, these colors really look washed out to me, but I'm getting used to
it. This was done wet-in-wet, first wetting both sides of the paper.
Your comments and any recommendations for improvements and for working
on the HP paper is appreciated.

Who is Sandy Sandy?

Hi! I'm a singular artist with a double name. Loving nature and all animals, I strive to portray the essence and spirit of my subjects in my art - aka, my online identity, Sandy Sandy Spiritartist. I hope you'll stay a while and leave me some comments so we can get to know each other.
